“Good evening everyone, sorry, I can’t speak fluently in Tamil, so please excuse me. I am super super happy, excited because his voice is my favorite. I fell in love with his voice. That’s all I can say,” Saira said on stage.
Notably, AR Rahman had been in controversy for allegedly mocking an anchor earlier in 2021 for using Hindi at a promotional event. While covering the event, the anchors primarily used Tamil to ask questions; however, one anchor also spoke Hindi. Rahman was startled to hear Hindi and walked off the stage in reaction. Rahman, however, clarified that he was just joking as he left the stage.
